from “American Negro Songs" by J. W. Work
Free at last, free at lastI thank God I'm free at lastFree at last, free at lastI thank God I'm free at last
Way down yonder in the graveyard walkI thank God I'm free at lastMe and my Jesus going to meet and talkI thank God I'm free at last
On my knees when the light passed byI thank God I'm free at lastThought my soul would rise and flyI thank God I'm free at last
Some of these mornings, bright and fairI thank God I'm free at lastGoin' meet King Jesus in the airI thank God I'm free at last
